Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

Since Snape also participated in the work of protecting the Philosopher's Stone, it must be easy for him to find out what traps other teachers set up.

He probably knew everything - except for Quirrell's magic and how to get through Fluffy.

"You're the only one who knows how to get past Fluffy, aren't you, Hagrid?"

"You won't tell anyone, will you? Not even the teacher, will you?"

Harry asked eagerly, hoping that his guess was right.

"No one except me and Dumbledore can know."Hagrid said proudly

"That's good, that's good." Harry was relieved.

Seeing that Harry and Hagrid had finished talking, William pointed to the dragon egg in the fire and asked,"Hagrid, where did you get the dragon egg?"

Hagrid twisted his beard uncomfortably.

Hermione and the others also looked over curiously.

In the middle of the fire, under the kettle, lay a large black egg.

"Hagrid, I didn't expect you to really want to raise a dragon. This dragon egg must have cost you a lot of money."Ron also said.

Hagrid could no longer hide it, so he simply told the truth.

"I won this last night when I was drinking in the village and playing cards with a stranger."

"To be honest, that person probably wants to get rid of it."

"But what are you going to do when it hatches?" Hermione asked.

""Oh, I've been reading." Hagrid said, pulling a large book from under his pillow.

"Borrowed from the library——《Raising dragons for pleasure and profit》——Of course, it's a bit outdated, but the content is complete"

"To put the eggs in the fire, because their mother breathes on them"

"You see, it says here, when it hatches, feed it a bucket of chicken blood brandy every half hour."

"Look here - how to tell the difference between the eggs - I got a Norwegian Ridgeback, which is quite rare."

He looked very pleased with himself, but Hermione did not.

"Hagrid, don't forget you live in a wooden house."Hermione reminded him.

But Hagrid didn't listen at all.

He fiddled with the fire and hummed happily.

Hagrid absolutely loves dragons. The smile on his face was from the bottom of his heart.

William was thinking about how to get this Norwegian Ridgeback from Hagrid.

It is definitely not possible now, because after the dragon egg hatched, Hagrid raised it as his son, just like a male mother.

But in the original book, Malfoy followed Harry and the others and spied on Hagrid raising a dragon.

In addition, the dragon grew rapidly and it seemed that it could not be concealed.

So Harry proposed to join forces. William was Ron's second brother Charlie, because Charlie was raising a dragon in Romania.

Hagrid finally had to send it away reluctantly and let Charlie, who was far away in Romania, take over.

William thought this was actually a good opportunity.

At that time, he would not have to contact Charlie at all, but would adopt the dragon himself.

In this way, Hagrid could still visit it from time to time, which was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Thinking of this, William planned to wait and see what would happen next, and it would be better to intervene less.

But now, Harry and the others had something new to worry about: What would happen to Hagrid if someone found out that he was illegally raising a dragon in his hut?

"I really want to know what a peaceful and tranquil life is like."Ron sighed.

Night after night, they struggled to complete a lot of homework assigned by the teacher.

Then, during breakfast one day, Hedwig brought Harry another note from Hagrid.

Hagrid only wrote four words on it: hatching soon.

Ron didn't want to go to the Herbology class, he wanted to go straight to Hagrid's hut.

But Hermione firmly disagreed

"Hermione, how many times in our lifetime can we see a Charmander hatch?"

"We have to go to class or we'll get in trouble; if anyone finds out what Hagrid has done, he'll be in worse trouble than us.……"

""Stop talking," Harry warned quietly.

Malfoy, who was only a few steps away from them, stopped to listen to them.

Harry hated the look on Malfoy's face.

William had been silent until then.

"All right, stop arguing. After the Herbology class, let's take advantage of the morning break to go see Hagrid."

William made the final decision, and Ron and Hermione compromised.

When the class was over, as soon as the bell rang in the castle, they threw down their shovels, hurried across the grounds, and ran towards the cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Malfoy noticed that they hurried out of the greenhouse and hurriedly followed them.

But he was afraid that William and the others would discover them, so he just followed them from a distance until he saw them enter Hagrid's cabin, then he quickened his pace.

Harry and the others were now concentrating on the hatching of the Charmander, and they didn't notice that someone was following them.

What's more, Malfoy was far away from them, and he might not be able to discover them even under normal circumstances.

Hagrid greeted them.

His face was flushed and he was very excited.

"It's almost out." He led William and the others into the hut.

The egg was lying on the table, with a deep crack on it.

Something was constantly moving inside, making a funny clicking sound.

It was the first time for William and the others to see a little fire dragon hatch. They couldn't help but move their chairs closer to the table, holding their breath and watching closely.

Suddenly, with a sharp scraping sound, the dragon egg cracked.

The little fire dragon fluttered and swayed on the table.

It didn't actually look beautiful.

William thought it looked like a wrinkled black umbrella. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

Its thorny wings looked particularly large compared to its thin black body.

It also had a long nose with white nostrils, horns on its head, and orange-red eyes protruding outward.

It sneezed, and a few sparks came out of its nose

""It's beautiful, isn't it?" Hagrid murmured.

He reached out a hand and touched the little dragon's head.[]

The little dragon bit his finger, revealing its sharp fangs.

"Oh my god, look, it knows its mother!"Hagrid exclaimed.

William didn't see this at all, and Hagrid was a half-giant, a strong man of more than three meters, why would he think he was a mother?

Suddenly his ears moved slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

The next moment, Hagrid's face turned pale - he jumped up and ran to the window

"what happened?"

"Someone just peeked through the cracks in the curtains... It's a boy... Running into the school." Hagrid's voice was a little flustered.

Harry rushed to the door and looked out.

Even at a distance, he would never mistake it.

Malfoy saw the little dragon

"Who is it? Harry, do you recognize it?"

"It's Malfoy, he will definitely go to Dumbledore to tell on him."Harry said with certainty.

In the next week, Malfoy had a malicious smile on his face.

This made Harry and his friends feel very uneasy.

They spent most of their spare time in Hagrid's dim hut, telling him the truth.

"Just let it go," Harry advised,"let it go"

""I can't," said Hagrid."It's too small. It'll die."

They looked at the little dragon.

In just one week, it had tripled in length.

Puffs of smoke came out of its nostrils.

Hagrid had put aside his job of guarding the game because the little dragon was making him so busy.

The ground was littered with empty brandy bottles and chicken feathers.

"I decided to call it Norbert. Hagrid looked at the little dragon with tearful eyes.

"It really knows me now, you see. Norbert! Norbert! Where's Mommy?"

""Hagrid," Harry said, raising his voice,"in a fortnight Norbert will be as long as your house. Malfoy may go to Dumbledore any minute."

Hagrid bit his lip.

"I... I know I can't keep it forever, but I can't just throw it away. I can't."

William knew it was time to act, otherwise Harry would definitely mention Charlie.

In order to avoid complications, William wanted to prevent Harry from mentioning Charlie.

"Okay, Harry, don't get excited. Hagrid and I will talk alone. You and Ron go back first." William said.

Harry calmed down and nodded:"Okay, William, you talk to Hagrid, Ron and I will go back first."

Harry and Ron walked to the door, and suddenly turned around and said:"William, you should persuade Hagrid more. Malfoy will tell Dumbledore at any time. We don't have much time."

""Okay, I got it." William agreed.

After Harry and Ron left, William teased Norbert while saying to Hagrid,"Hagrid, are you willing to believe me?"

Hagrid nodded without hesitation and said,"Of course.""

"Hagrid, I know you like Norbert very much, but Norbert is a Norwegian Ridgeback and is very aggressive."

"But it's still small and can't hurt anyone." Hagrid was like protecting his own child and wouldn't tolerate anyone saying anything bad about Norbert.

"It is still small and does not do much harm now, but it will eventually grow up. In just one to three months, it will be able to fully develop the ability to breathe fire, and then it will be very dangerous."

"Moreover, the fangs of the Norwegian Ridgeback are poisonous. They feed on large land mammals and even prey on aquatic creatures."

"Norbert is a Norwegian Ridgeback, so he is no exception. Have you considered the safety of others when you keep him here?"

Hagrid heard William say this and remembered that when he was a student at Hogwarts, he was expelled because a student was killed by a monster.

Although he was wronged, he did raise a dangerous monster - the eight-eyed giant spider Aragog.

This monster is still in the Forbidden Forest and has bred a huge tribe.

Hagrid finally figured it out and asked,"William, I get it, but Norbert is too young now."

"Hagrid, you know I also have a lot of animals, but aren't you curious about where I keep them? Why hasn't anyone found them?"

Hagrid was stunned when he heard William ask this.

When Hagrid raised the eight-eyed giant spider before, he hid it in the castle dungeon.

So it is natural to think that William also hid his pets in a hidden place in the castle.

But since William asked this, it means that this may not be the case. After all, if you want to hide Norbert, it can't be a small place.

Hagrid thought about it, but had no clue, so he asked directly:"William, where did you hide them?"

"Hagrid, do you know Newt Scamander?".
